Daniel's Song Race • S02 W03 • Judges' Critiques

The first time we get to critique you! I thought the song was alright. It was a sweet and lush ballad of course, and it certainly sounded like your typical Disney song - but that's where the flaw comes in as well. It just sounds so typical and didn't really stand out that much for me. Maybe the other judges think otherwise, but I felt nothing special from this performance. Regardless, it was still strong and you done a good job.

This one drowned in the competition even more than Emma's performance. This just did nothing for me and it really didn't stand out from the crowd at all, and a significant fall in quality from last week. It does sound like an alright ballad, but that's about it. There's nothing remarkable about this really. I'll shut up now since I'm saying the same thing over and over.

This ballad, however, stands out from the rest. It's florid, decorated, and - even better - NOT REMOTELY CHEESY. Colours of the Wind does seem like an obvious choice, but for a very limited week for choice, I'll let that slip. We can see how someone would choose this frankly beautiful song. Very well done, a great redemption from last week.

I'm not feeling this one, sorry. I've been through this song too many times in my life to enjoy it, although that's not to say that I'm criticising it for being unoriginal. I just don't like this song at all. It's got this cliché and schmaltzy vibe to it that doesn't sit well with me. I hope you can improve from this.

Jessica, you never fail to impress me. Definitely the most consistent drag queen of the season! A very sweet and touching old school ballad, this one stood out because it was simply far more authentic hence a more daring choice than the others. Maybe it was a bit too saccharine at the end of the day, but that doesn't subtract from its overall quality. Well done once again!

I personally thought this was also a good song. Old school Disney, and also in Portuguese which was very interesting to see. My only fear is that this may have drowned out in the rest of the competition, and I can definitely understand if my counterparts to each side of me don't like it. Regardless, I still think you done a really good job and this deserves more praise than criticism.
